Cool, you can jump on the "hop on hop off" buses at SF and then change at Pedrara or the Cathedral for stuff in the West of the city if you go with the company that runs two different routes (Barcelona City Tours). Don't go all the way down to the "Place De Catalunya" to change....it gets mobbed as that's the start point for all of the different company bus tours

Just double-checked and the hotel is pretty much next door to Pedrara, so that sounds like a winner

Pedrara well worth paying to go inside as well....the roof is fantastic

Also worth a visit : Parc Guell, SF, the Pcasso museum (a little hidden away, bit worth finding) the Miro museum and the fountains at night. We missed out on the cable car (Mrs B not good with heights), but it looked great

Taking the family to Barca for Easter 14-20 the April. The main reason for going is for my youngest son (who is 8 in June) to see Barca play Real Sociedad at the Nou Camp on Easter Sunday - He has rebelled against following me in supporting Chelsea and for some reason didn't get too excited with my other suggestion of following Cheltenham Town

We have a 2 bed apartment in the Gracia area and was just wondering if anyone has any must do/visit suggestions? We have plenty of time in Barca due to the flights being so much cheaper on the days selected so it made sense to spend the money on a few more nights accommodation. Cheers.
